Durham Fiesta Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 is it possible to get a cheap car ( few hundred quid) that will actually be half decent. Just been to fill my van up and it took £ 66.50 to fill an escort van. Don't wanna sell the van as its handy to have but want something cheap to use for commuting etc , any ideas???
jimbo Posted May 27, 2008 Report Posted May 27, 2008 I had one a few years back.... Chicken chaser and helmet = £125 Tax = £15 Insurance = £60 Fuel = £3 a week (50 miles) I know what you're thinking, but it's alright. No-one knows it's you when you've got a helmet on.
